Sisters become ‘princesses’ at Disney World

MANITOWOC — Sarah and Madison Wright are back in the land of ice and snow.

But the Manitowoc sisters have warm memories of their recent Make-A-Wish Foundation trip to Disney World and other attractions in Orlando, Fla., where they were treated like princesses.

Accompanied by their parents, Melissa and Ron Wright, and five private-duty nurses, the girls left Manitowoc on Dec. 5 and returned Tuesday. A story in the Herald Times Reporter on Dec. 6 detailed how the foundation granted the wishes of Sarah, 12, and Madison, 6, who have spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic disease in which muscle control and movement progressively weaken.
